DRIVER SEAT MOVES BACK INTO EXIT POSITION AND INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS AT ANY SPEED PERIODICALLY AND WHILE GOING OVER BUMPS. I AM VERY SHORT SO WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE A DIFFICULT TIME REACHING THE GAS/BRAKE. I HAVE 4 YOUNG CHILDREN AND THIS IS A VERY BIG SAFETY ISSUE WHILE DRIVING. *TR

WHILE DRIVING THE DRIVER SEAT SLIDES BACK INTO EXIT FORM AND IT IS HARD TO REACH THE GAS AND BRAKES AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS COME ON. THIS HAPPENS PERIODICALLY WHILE DRIVING IF YOU TOUCH THE IGNITION AS IF YOU ARE GOING TO START THE VEHICLE THE SEAT WILL GO BACK INTO PLACE AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WILL GO OFF. *TR
